The problem is probably due to a missing config file for apache.

In /var/lib/dpkg/info/mumble-django.postinst
the script fail to launch 'apache2_invoke enconf mumble-django'

using dpkg -L mumble-django
I didn't find any matching file

[esion (esion99)]

Here is my fix :

create the file '/etc/apache2/conf-available/mumble-django.conf' and add the following content :

------

Alias /mumble-django/static/admin/ /usr/share/pyshared/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/
Alias /mumble-django/static/mumble/ /usr/share/pyshared-data/python-django-mumble/static/mumble/
Alias /mumble-django/static/ /usr/share/mumble-django/htdocs/

WSGIScriptAlias /mumble-django /usr/share/mumble-django/mumble-django.wsgi
WSGIDaemonProcess mumble-django threads=25
WSGIProcessGroup mumble-django
WSGIScriptReloading Off

-----

then reconfigure or reinstall :

sudo dpkg --configure mumble-django

You will be asked to run 'mumble-django-configure' then you be able to access to http://yourdomain.tld/mumble-django/

PS: I still have a bug when trying to purge package, the command db_purge fails in '/var/lib/dpkg/info/mumble-django.postrm'

Used the fix above to finish installation and configure django. Works as expected.

Removal/purge appears to fail due to missing check for Munin plugin file.

[sedlund (scott-edlund)]

to fix removal change /var/lib/dpkg/info/mumble-django.postrm

        invoke-rc.d --quiet apache2 reload

to

        invoke-rc.d --quiet apache2 reload > /dev/null

the *'s from the output of the RC script are being interpreted and thus making an error in the script...

[sedlund (scott-edlund)]

I experienced a different error trying to purge package 'mumble-django' on a fresh install. It failed because it could not remove the database, as there wasnt one because the initial install failed. To fix removal in this situation edit:

/var/lib/dpkg/mumble-django.postrm

line 33:

db_purge

and comment it out:

#db_purge

then run aptitude purge mumble-django
